Got last minute guests or craving something sweet with your afternoon coffee, well this is the pastry to make to impress and you dont need to tell your guests how easy it is to make. The tartness you get from the lemon curd and the fruitiness from the berries and creaminess from the creamcheese makes this pastry a perfect combination.
It has a few steps and the only thing that requires baking is the puff pastry. The rest is the cheesecake part and assembly and walao it's ready to eat.
You have to make sure to crimp the edges and poke holes with a fork in the middle of the pastry. The pastry will still rise in the middle but when it first comes out the oven flatten the middle again with a spatula and brush the edges with milk before crimping them together.
Make sure to sprinkle 3 tsp of sugar in the middle of the pastry before baking and to brush milk on the edges before crimping.
